Did you ever overshare information about your life with others and then later regret it?

Everything I share feels uncomfortable and I regret it all. Fun! Now I regret this and the cycle continues.

Quite often if I trust someone. I'd rather live my life saying too much than not enough - I like having people know where they stand with me and sometimes that means me spouting feelings I'd normally keep to myself.

I don't regret it, no.

You people here are my sounding board.

Right now, I have a very poorly 3 year old who has barely eaten over the weekend, has thrown up good few times but is mercifully, having water intake.

I tend to over share when I’m caffeinated. And yes, sometimes I do regret it. Not because I revealed some deep dark secret but because I know I probably shared a piece of me with someone who doesn’t care that much.

Not that, but I regret to have engaged in discussions where there was little hope to find common ground. It is so futile and costs nerves. But it was worth trying.

There’s an older woman who works at the cafe I like to go to that’s in a church. (The cafe isn’t remotely religious.) From the very first time I went there we’ve always had a laugh and a bit of a chat. I didn’t see her for about a year due to lockdown, so the first time she saw me she came over to say hello and ask how I was. I proceeded to blurt out about the death of my brother - she never even knew I had a brother! I couldn’t stop myself! I kept apologising and then kept telling her even more. She didn’t run away and has spoken to me since so I couldn’t have come across as a total twat. Christ!

I almost never do, and I almost always regret it about 17 milliseconds after it escapes my lips
